Over the past years UNIDO assessed 50 parks in eight countries against the International Framework for EcoIndustrial Parks. This wealth of data offers the opportunity to analyse the results and extract lessons learnt for moving forward in assisting countries and industrial parks in their efforts for a more resilient, sustainable and socially considerate industrial development. This report provides a summary of the analysis and lessons learnt from the assessments of all these industrial parks of their performance against the International EIP Framework.
This report is the first publication of the GEIPP’s “Lessons Learnt” series aimed at compiling and disseminating results from the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP). The programme implements country-level interventions in Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Peru, South Africa, Ukraine and Viet Nam. The country-level interventions are supported by a global component that providing methodological guidance and dissemination of good practices between and beyond GEIPP countries. The program aims at demonstrating the viability and benefits for advancing Eco-Industrial Parks practices at industrial parks in the program countries.
